JSD Automation instantly reopening tickets

[JB]

Hi community,

I'm quite new to JSD and I'm struggling to find a solution to my issue.

Actually, in my workflow, there is a transition to reopen an issue (Closed >> Reopened). Be side this, I have added an automation so that when a client adds a comment to a closed ticket, it reopens automatically in 'Reopened' status. Everything works great so far.

However, since I've set this up, when I try to close a ticket and add a comment in the resolution screen, the ticket immediately reopens.

My question is how can I still allow my clients to reopen a ticket when its closed and in parallel be able to close tickets and adding comments in the closing / resolution screen without having the ticket reopening immediately.

I'm sorry to ask again if that question has been asked before but could not find an answer to my question.

Sorry for my bad English. Hoping I've been clear enough in what I wanted to say.

Thanks in advance for your Help!

JB,

If I understand your problem correctly, this is most likely being caused by not checking that the comment is from a customer. Check your condition for reopening the ticket - it should look something like this.

Hi @JB !

At first glance, it sounds like your automation rule isn't set to trigger only when a customer comments on the issue, so, when you write your resolution, which is recorded as a comment, automation sees it and reopens the issue.

Hello Paul and LarryBrock,

Thank you both for your answers, you were both right. I was missing the customer comment trigger.

It's working fine now.

Cheers

Glad to know you got it working. You should mark this question as resolved.
